RECOGNITION OF Dr. Tia Robinson-Cooper HONOR GRADUATES Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs

PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATES Michael Berndt & CONFERRAL OF DEGREES

CONCLUDING COMMENTS Michael Berndt

Thank you to StageClip for making Inver Hills' virtual graduation possible.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Minnesota State canceled all in-person graduations including that of Inver Hills Community College. While it was not possible for the college community to celebrate our graduates in-person, Inver Hills made

the decision to host a virtual ceremony. The ceremony can be viewed at www.inverhills.edu/commencement

Inver Hills Community College, located on 90 acres of hills and

woodland, opened its doors in 1970. As the college has grown during

the past 48 years, its programs and services have also expanded.

Students attend Inver Hills from throughout the Metro area,

greater Minnesota, other states and foreign countries. The college

has received national recognition for the quality of its academic

offerings, including transfer coursework and career programs.
